Tributes have been paid to a war veteran who moved a nation when he shared his story of loneliness.
John Lister, who has died aged 101, was a resident at Thorp House nursing home in Griston, near Watton.
The Normandy veteran first made headlines when he told how he was struggling to face his first Christmas without his wife Ella, who died of Covid aged 92 during the first wave of the pandemic – just weeks after their 70th wedding anniversary.

But interest in Mr Lister has since snowballed, with another television appearance on BBC Breakfast taking his story national.
It has
led to an outpouring of support for the former farmer, with hundreds of cards sent to Thorp House, as well as a signed Norwich City shirt with 101 on the back.
Mr Lister, who lived for many years in Deopham and ran the Half Moon pub with his wife, has even received personal letters from Captain Tom Moore and Sir Richard Branson.
